What a joy to see so many young people helping with the Memorial Day event on Monday! They were such a vital part of the volunteer team- wiping down chairs wet from the earlier rain, handing out flags and programs, setting up chairs on Sunday and taking them down on Monday, carrying cones to set up the parking...a huge shout out to these special young people.

Avery Curling, Girl Scout from Troop 20058,  along with her fellow scouts Emily & Caroline, shared how being a girl scout is teaching her so many lessons, including the importance of service to her Roswell community as well as the skills needed to serve: patience, working with others, earning badges to use creativity and develop new competencies, and bringing a servant's heart to events like Roswell Remembers.

Evan, Ramsey, Everett and Jack from Boy Scout Troop 87 talked about being outside in nature, honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and other community service projects coming up like cooking pork butts in the fall. And looking forward to the fishing pond at Roswell Area Park opening again. 

And Young Men's Service League, an organization for mothers and sons, stayed busy putting out the hundreds of chairs. The energy and big smiles made the work go much faster! Thank you all!  You made a huge difference!
